Get League Pass and catch all out of market games!!! Oh wait you also need to get ESPN. And you’re also likely going to need Peacock for the NBC games. Oh and yeah you’re going to need Prime for the weekly games and the in season tourney and the play in games. But yeah get League Pass too!

Don’t get me wrong I’m going to do it but I don’t like it lol.

Can't you guys get international LP or LP from another country then just use VPN when you watch games? Don't really know if that works. But we do get all the games except when LP is being a bitch and is down of course.

Come live in Europe. You get every single game on league pass plus some weird bonuses like social welfare.

Don't be suckered in Shackles. You can just get a European VPN and not have to put up with those social benefits!

Dang, of course CG beat me to it whilst I was composing my riposte.

Find someone in a dark alley who knows how to do magical things with an amazon stick. I've heard its around 200 buckaroos a year but what do i know, this is just a word of mouth type of thing.

When I first got a fire stick I had it unlocked and while it had tons of stuff it was slow and I eventually gave up on it bc it just wasn’t quick enough.

I personally hate my fire stick for streaming sports. It’s so slow and only gets worse the longer you have it. I bought a new one at the beginning of the NBA season and by April it was slow and lagging and it’s feet from my modem/router. That’s with any app (max, nba, peacock, etc.) but is especially bad on the NBA app. My appletv on the other hand is 4-5 years old, on the other side of the house, and streams all games without glitching or issues. NFL games on Prime are just bad though and leaves me little hope for NBA games on there.

Dunno how to do it either. Just mooching off my brother's subscription.

Honestly didn’t know VPN was even an option on a streaming device like fire stick or appletv lol.

My takeaways from this:

1) This is exactly why you don't want to go *too* hard in the reg season. Cause then you won't have enough "gas" left for the playoffs.

This is why teams do load management. You sit Al on back to backs. You might bring a guy back after 6 weeks, from an injury that he really only needed 4 or 5 weeks to recover from. You give guys rest games here and there..you play a guy 29 mins during a game where you have a decent lead, rather than pushing him and playing him 35.

You've gotta do this stuff or you won't have enough gas for the playoffs.

2) The Nuggets last season were not a deep team. I think a big reason why they ran out of gas in the playoffs is because of their lack of depth. They lost Bruce Brown and Jeff Green from their championship team and didn't replace either of them. You need a better, deeper bench (mainly your 6th-10th guys) to be able to give proper rest to the starters throughout the season..

Agreed and I've posted before about how the #1 seed shouldn't be a main priority this season. This team is battle tested now and they will win on the road in the playoffs. I'd like to see a real 10/11 man rotation (considering KP misses half the year means minutes will have to be given out to other bigs).

As for the Nuggets, I just didn't see them have it for most of the season. Something went on with that team whether it was the locker room or the coach I don't know. But they were definitely off. The best games I did see them play was against the C's last year.

No gas?

Denver should have resorted to fracking.

Expectations are through the roof so next year will feature Embiid's greatest failure yet. I can't wait.

Interesting. I've heard there's the occasional buffering, but for the most part i've heard they're great.

Personally, Luke Kornet is and will forever remain my GOAT.

That was cool to watch. Mike would never say it…but he clearly thinks he is the best ever and that Tiger is the best ever for the same reasons. When he says that Tiger grew the game even though he won less times than Jack, he was basically making the case for why he is better than Bill.

Wild, if true.
Celtics currently have an active 105-game streak IINM.
